After years of discussions and months of government wrangling, it's finally time for Telstra to close down CDMA for good. So how will the telco go about switching off an entire network?
The next generation of mobile broadband has moved closer to reality, following fresh trials by Nokia Siemens Networks.
Networking equipment giant switches gears and takes the plunge into WiMax with the acquisition of Navini Networks.
Intel will today launch the new Centrino mobile computing platform to Australian customers, promising some modest gains in performance and a few new features for both corporate and consumer users.
Apple on Tuesday released the software needed to unlock the fast Wi-Fi chips inside almost every one of its new Macs.
As CSIRO stands firm on its refusal to freely license key patents relating to WLANs, I'm reminded of the joke: what do you get when you grab a man by the testicles? The answer: his full attention.
Draft N (of the upcoming 802.11n standard) is the latest in wireless networking, and while 802.11n is not finally ratified, it does promise better speed, throughput, range and dependability. Is it worth its current premium price? We explore the promise and availability of Draft N gear on the Australian market.
The next-generation wireless technology could take us one step closer to the mobile nirvana of one bill for mobile, Wi-Fi and broadband connectivity.
New technology promises to increase the speed of wireless networks by a factor of 20, but the emerging standard is being delayed by vendors squabbling.
If the Mac and the PC are the yin and yang of the tech universe, then these two seeming opposites should be able to coexist harmoniously.
Wireless-networking standards can be daunting. Get fluent in Wi-Fi speak so you can pick the gear that's right for you.
The latest bundle of mobile technologies from Intel arrives late and somewhat piecemeal, but delivers a useful set of incremental enhancements.
We're still waiting for a product that totally delivers on the promises of the 802.11n specification, but Belkin's N1 at least comes closer than most. What's more, it's an exceptionally easy router to both install and maintain.
The TRENDnet TEW-432BRP proves the adage that you get what you pay for -- it's a fundamentally generic wireless router with few bad points, but nothing that really stands out aside from its inexpensive pricing.
Though it offers good maximum throughput, the Linksys WRT300N ultimately fails to do the new Draft N standard proud in both mixed-mode and long-range tests. Wait to see how the rest of the Draft N products fare.
Solid maximum throughput is not nearly enough to make us recommend the Draft N-based Linksys WPC300N. Sit tight to see how the other Draft N gear fares.
